Located on the Mount of Olives, this beautiful church was first built by the Byzantines in 379 and rebuilt between 1919 and 1924, whose construction was financed from contributions made by many countries.

I'm happy we visited beginning of April and it was quiet time. It's such place of sorrow that people talking and taking pictures would spoil the visit. We had time to knee down at the rock and pray. Such moving place.

If you visit Gethsemane when it is crowded, the movement of humans will take you right to the entrance of this beautiful basilica. We were there when a priest was conducting mass for a small tour group. Instead of being reverent, people were talking, laughing,...More

This sight is popular with tour busses and parking is a real challenge. The crowds go quicly through the church and the church is large enough to accommodate a large crowd. One enters the area by going through a Garden Olives with some very old...More

We visited the church twice. First time during the day - a sunny day. As you enter the Church you get engulfed by a sense of sorrow, as the purple stained glass filters out the light as if something fateful is about to happen. It...More

Like a lot of churches in Jerusalem,they have been built in the 19th and 20th centuries,over ruined 5th/6th century churches.
From an Historical perspective,they have little to offer,from a religious perspective,they have value because of the places they are supposed to represent.

Apart from the huge number of people here this is a beautiful, peaceful place. It is worth taking time to sit and look at the surroundings which are wonderful. A moving place and so pleased I've experienced it. The olive trees in the garden are...More

The interiors are stunning so make sure that if you go, you take your time inside and sit and let the interior details sink into you. Like all other major religious sites in Jerusalem, there are millions of tourists that you have to navigate around....More

For the Church of All Nations it is best to pre-book a taxi (via your hotel?) to pick you up after the Holy Hour.
There are no restaurants near Gethsemane or the church.
The Via Dolorosa ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - again few, if any restaurants in close vicinity. Again your hotel can advise closer to the time of your visit.

Yes, as far as i know it is open every day. There are restrictions in the walled Garden of Gethsemane which require booking ahead. The Church of All Nations entrance is immediately opposite across a narrow street. There may be an entrance fee to the Church which is accessed via the other part of the Garden. Each time I have been it has been with a pre-organised tour so we didn't buy entrance tickets on site. For further information contact the Order of Franciscans or the Latin patriarchate in Jerusalem (see online).
